Just plain YUCK!!!
I'm not going to "like" that. Dang man, have you thought about moving south? I have. LOL
Yes, she knows. Brother works for Ford, so did sister. She's seen what trade/manufacturing has done to her hometown. I will say we visited my son in Prescott AZ a few months ago, she really liked it esp. the way people were/acted if you know what I mean.
Hey @memike, What is your new console made of? Some say fiberglass. I think plastic.
Well have a Great Day All!
fiberglass, strong. that is what it appears to be to me.
I know it is not the same as the 70'es model, never seen a 68 or 69 or held one but they could be plastic
Not Ford, Lincoln, Mercury.......
Mercury Marine. Boat engines not boat anchors...
I see Keith reported that Abodybomer has passed away. Dang!
So cold they closed schools.
School buses dont run on these cold days, as breakdowns become a huge problem with a load of kids.

I am sore as hell this morning, staying bent over and fighting and twisting tubes are not good on this old fart, hands and neck are on fire but I can still walk and make coffee this morning
WHO makes them now? I know they use prestolite distribs at least did.
Mercury...Ford?? Old days???
You must be a pup....
I know Ford, Lincoln, Mercury....Just wrong Mercury...
Whats funny my 440 is a boat engine. Came out of a Dozi that sunk with 1oo hours on it.
You have been busy. Ya, I don't bend as good as I used to either. Hell I'm sore from shoveling and blowing snow yesterday.

So here is Happy Valley story and true by the way. My buddy is getting married, he decides rather than a bachelor party we should all go to happy valley and shoot sage rats and clay pigeons.
We get to the hotel and yours truly has fabricated a literal ball and chain using a bowling ball and log chain. Keep in mind he too is a farmer and a big rascal. We explain he has to wear it all weekend. He of course figures he will not comply and we can't make him. His brother is a cop and I am just dumb so we pounce on him to implore our will upon him, pretty soon the rest of the boys jumped on the pile and long story short he was padlocked to the bowling ball!
Oh yeah he had to wear it to the bar to dinner etc. so as night progresses we are sitting around makeshift table in front of hotel room playing cards. (Que Karl) His brother whips out an inflatable female doll as a gift. Now she has a seat at table and well that is a different story! So next morning it is time to head back home no one and I mean no one knows what to do with the blown up doll.
So since it is my buddies she gets unceremoniously tossed in back of truck. On way home I have to pee and buddy desperately wants to throw up. We pull into a gas station, I jump out to pee and buddy is leaning against truck puking his guts out. Cop in parking lot is giving us some serious stink eye.. I mean serious.
So I figure WTF my paperwork is in order and I am stone sober. As he approaches I glance back at truck to make sure my buddy isn't doing anything overly stupid and sure enough, luggage had shifted and up popped blow up doll in jump seat for whole world to see. Two farmers hauling around a blow up doll was not easily explained! Hah and good morning.
Wow. 51. That's too young.
I bet you are, you ready for this crazy cold a$$ weather
Ready as I can be. I will just stay inside the next couple days. I need to go out and get some milk and a few groceries today. We have plenty of meat in the freezer. As long as the lights don't go out. Our boiler is keeping up nicely.
We make them now. We were teamed with GM, Ford and Chrysler over the years. 80 years this year. We cast our own blocks, heads, etc. Inboard and outboard.
It's been so cold and snowy I think I only got 50 miles on a half tank of gas in the pick up. Lots of warm ups and 4 wheel drive trips.
